New guy bought a doodle bug can i put old school small rims and tires on it ?

[Pat Smith]

Hi guys:

Bought a stock doodle bug off craigslist today for $180 I already have a brand new HF hemi 212cc. I also have four old azusa tri-star rims 4.10/3.50-5. I also have 1" expanders for these rims. Will these work ? What do I need to do to retrofit them to the doodle bug ?

I waited 50 years for a mini bike :laugh: I want it old school. I just finished a 60's - 70's clark brothers type go kart.
This is my second project. I am excited !

Thanks every body. I have a Honda gx140 with wet clutch (runs good) free to anyone who wants to pick it up.

The DB uses a metric bearing/axle. The Azusa wheel is standard. Should be 1 3/8" OD. I'm not aware of conversion bearing with a standard outer and metric inner (12mm I think). Most guys still the fork and axle brackets to 5/8" which is the Minibike standard. If there is another option I'm not aware of it.
